Dental Implants Austin
Are you looking for a high-quality and long-lasting solution for missing teeth?
Dental implants provide a natural-looking and attractive smile that can restore your confidence and let you start enjoying life again.
38th Street Dental in Austin, TX, uses high-tech tools and high-end materials to create the stunning smiles our patients deserve.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone, where it mimics a natural tooth root. Dr. Mike Meek and Dr. David J. Tasch at our Austin, TX, dental office use implants from Nobel Biocare®, a leader in the development of implants. For a full tooth restoration, you will need a dental implant, a connector piece called an abutment, and a crown, bridge, or denture to replace the visible portion of your missing teeth. Implants can be used alone or in groups to support a variety of restorations that look like your natural teeth.
Fill the Gaps in Your Smile with Dental Implants
If you have a single missing tooth, your dentist will typically recommend a dental implant and crown to restore your smile. This option is more conservative than a traditional dental bridge, which requires filing down the teeth on each side of the tooth gap. We have helped many patients rebuild their smiles and improve their quality of life through implants.
How Many Teeth Are You Missing? We Have a Custom Solution
Missing One Tooth?
When a single tooth is missing, one dental implant can be used to hold a crown (artificial tooth), which will beautifully restore your smile and give you a strong, functioning bite.
Missing a Row of Teeth?
If you are missing a row of teeth, a bridge supported by implants instead of natural teeth is an ideal solution. By using implants, you can avoid altering healthy teeth to restore your smile.
Missing All Teeth?
Dental implants can securely hold an entire denture in place. These dentures will never slip out of place and the dental implants can help stop deterioration of the jawbone.

We Specialize in Implant Dentistry
Our experienced dentists have advanced training in implant, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. Dr. Meek is an educator for Nobel Biocare, a leader in implant dentistry, and presents lectures on implant dentistry to dental professionals across the nation.
Your Comfort Comes First
At our practice, patients come first. Each member of our team was carefully selected to ensure patient comfort from the moment you walk through the door. If dental treatment makes you anxious, we offer both nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation so that you can relax and comfortably receive the treatment you need for optimum oral health.
We Use the Latest and Best Technology
Our dentists' office in Austin is equipped with the latest and best technology to ensure beautiful and long-lasting results. As an added measure of precision, we use a 3D printer to design custom surgical guides for ideal implant placement, a step that also reduces discomfort and speeds recovery.
We Utilize Sophisticated Dental Imaging for Superior Results
3D computed tomography (CT) scanning technology provides your dentist with images of your teeth, soft tissues, and nerves in one scan. Granting us substantially more detailed imagery than a typical X-ray, this resource helps pave the way for safe, effective pre-surgical treatment planning and precise implant placement.
With us, you can feel confident that our state-of-the-art treatment planning technology helps cut down on surgery time and can reduce post-operative pain and swelling. From the moment you visit us for a dental implant consultation, we take every measure to ensure the success of your procedure and your comfort every step of the way.
Making Care Comfortable With Sedation
If you've had poor experiences with dentists in the past, you can rest assured that we'll go above and beyond to change how you feel about dental care. Patients who need extra help relaxing throughout treatment can benefit from oral conscious sedation or nitrous oxide sedation.
Oral conscious sedation is a pill patients take before their surgery to keep them relaxed throughout treatment. Nitrous oxide is a gas that's administered through a nose mask that helps minimize pain and anxiety. While oral conscious sedation will require that someone drive you to and from your appointment, nitrous oxide wears off quickly so you can drive yourself.
We Offer Flexible Financing
